Three of Lee Majors’ four children — Lee II, Nikki, Dane and Trey — have followed in his Hollywood footsteps.

The longtime actor has had a prolific career on the small screen — most notably his starring roles in The Six Million Dollar Man, The Bionic Woman and The Fall Guy (the original TV show as well as the 2024 remake with Ryan Gosling).

Lee’s work has kept him in the public eye since the 1970s, and his personal life has made headlines, too. After his first marriage to Thelma Kathleen "Kathy" Robinson in the 1960s — with whom he had his first son, Lee Majors II — Lee married actress Farrah Fawcett.

Lee and Farrah wed in 1973 and separated in 1979 before divorcing three years later. Lee then married model and 1985 Playboy “Playmate of the Year” Karen Velez in 1988.

Soon after, they welcomed three children: their daughter Nikki and twin sons Dane and Trey. Lee and Karen eventually divorced in 1994, and despite his busy career, he was an attentive father.

The actor told Entertainment Tonight in 1997 that he enjoyed being a “lunch dad” at Nikki’s school — a parent who helped take kids to the cafeteria for their afternoon meal. “I’m a hands-on father,” he told the outlet.

Lee married his current wife, Faith Majors, in 2002, after the two started dating in the late 1990s. “It is a record in Hollywood,” Lee told PEOPLE in 2019, referring to their decades-long relationship.

He and his children keep their lives largely out of the public eye, though Lee is still working on acting projects.

Here’s everything to know about Lee Majors’ children: Lee, Nikki, Dane and Trey.

Lee and his first wife, Kathy, welcomed their son, Lee Majors II, in 1962.

Lee and Kathy divorced in 1965, but the younger Lee attended his father’s wedding to his second wife, Fawcett, at the Hotel Bel-Air in Los Angeles in 1973.

Lee II followed in his father’s footsteps and landed a few acting roles in Hollywood, including a guest appearance in an episode of The Fall Guy. He also starred in the three reunion films of this father’s most iconic role, The Six Million Dollar Man, as an OSI (Office of Scientific Intelligence) agent.

Lee II was later spotted alongside his dad in a commercial for Diet Rite soda in the 1980s.

After The Fall Guy wrapped in 1986, Lee moved his family to Florida and began golfing. Lee also took his son to the course, but it wasn't all for leisure. In 1990 and 1991, the two competed in the Celebrity Sports Invitational.

“I played golf for eight or nine years until I had had enough of that and then said, ‘I think I’ll go back to work now,’ ” he told The Mirror in 2023.

Lee II is also a father to one son, Cody Majors, who is a United States Auto Club sprint car driver, according to his Facebook. When Cody won his first race in Ventura, California, in 2018, he thanked his father on Instagram.

“Want to thank my pops for all the support over the years whether it’s racing or life in general! Thank you for always being there,” he captioned a photo of the two hugging.

Lee II has supported Cody’s racing since he was a child, per a throwback photo Cody posted on Instagram in 2016 of the two standing beside a race car when he was young.

Lee and his second wife, Karen, welcomed their first child together, daughter Nikki McFarlane (née Majors), in 1988.

Nikki also briefly followed her father’s acting path, with minor roles in Lee’s 1990 movie Keaton’s Cop and the TV series P.S. I Luv U.

She is now married to Adam McFarlane, a real estate agent in Pacific Palisades, California, and they have four children together.

While Nikki keeps her personal life and her children’s lives private, she often spends time with her younger brother, Trey, who has a close relationship with her and her kids.

In 2023, Trey posted a slideshow of photos with Nikki’s children on Instagram, getting their faces painted and climbing on a playground jungle gym.

The year prior, Nikki posted a throwback photo of her and Trey on her Instagram Stories with the caption, “Always been a ride or die.” Her sibling echoed a similar sentiment, calling her "#1 sister" when he reposted the picture on his own Instagram account.

Lee and Karen welcomed their two younger children, twin brothers Dane and Trey Majors, in 1992, per their birth announcement in the Los Angeles Times.

Although he grew up out of the spotlight, Dane appeared as the lead character in the 2017 short film Honor Council. Three years later, he also starred in the horror movie Alone.

However, he has since moved away from acting. In the fall of 2023, Dane opened a “listening bar” and record shop called In Sheep’s Clothing in New York City.

“Those close know it’s been a wild ride for me these last few months, navigating family loss, all the while trying to build this little sanctuary from scratch,” he wrote in an Instagram post for the shop’s opening, referring to the loss of his mother, who died earlier that year.

Dane added, “Lot of hands, hearts, and hard work went into this space and we’re so proud to see it all coming together. 🥹.”

A few years before, he posted a throwback photo of him and Karen smiling for the camera. "I love me Ma!!,” Dane wrote on Instagram in 2017. His sister Nikki commented on the post, “Cutest photo!! 😘😘.”

Trey was born to Lee and Karen in 1992, along with his twin brother, Dane.

Trey is the only one of his siblings who didn't pursue acting and instead, he has made a profession as a surfboard shaper at Rusty Surfboards in San Diego.

In 2021, he shaped a surfboard for his brother, Dane.

“Hand made by yours truly for my best friend 🙌🐠,” he captioned an Instagram post showing the board-shaping process and the final result — a pink-marbled board with the inscription “Trey Majors for Dane” on the back.

Trey also spends a lot of time traveling, heading to different states and countries from India and Indonesia to Colorado and Oregon.
